Elizabeth Vargas to divorce, hot on heels of rehab return?

A source told People magazine that the ABC News reporter and her singer-songwriter husband Marc Cohn are ending their 12-year marriage. The news comes only days after Vargas announced she had checked into a rehab facility.

In November, Vargas went public with her decades-long addiction to alcohol.

Vargas and Cohn have two children, Zachary, 11, and Samuel, 8.

"Marc and Elizabeth are in divorce proceedings," the source reportedly said. "The kids are with him in New York while she seeks treatment."

Without addressing reports of a split, Cohn issued a statement to People saying, "On behalf of Elizabeth's family, we are in total support of her recovery and want her to be well."
